"Forsaking all others" is right in the vows. Monogomy is the point and societal assumption of marriage. If a woman has a child while married, her husband is assumed to be the biological father because that is the person the law considers her to only be having sex with. Being married to more than one person is illegal…

The economic problems of Detroit affect its immediate suburbs

You (and so many others) completely missed the point. It was suggested that the reason why the Pontiac Silverdome was vacant was because of Detroit's economic problems. The simple fact is that a new stadium was built and the old stadium was left to rot. The old stadium is not in Detroit, and therefore immune to…

She's a newbie writer doing a pretty thankless night/weekend job of entertaining the animals with (obviously) minimal supervision. She tries and owns up to mistakes. You can't hate that.

In fairness to Dayna, I thought the Silverdome was in the general vicinity of Detroit and its prefix, Pontiac, was the corporate sponsor, not a place. If I was a writer, sure I'd probably fact check my shit before hitting Publish. But I could see how it would be an easy mistake for an out-of-towner to make.

From your previous posts you seem like a nice entertaining person, so I truly hope that you don't take what I am about to say personal, and if you do I sincerely apologize. But as a lifelong citizen of Michigan I have to say FUCK YOU!!!!!!!

Thank you for the quick reply. I am near Louisville KY. That area sounds like the Old Louisville neighborhood, which is in between downtown and the University of Louisville campus. Beautiful old homes (older than that part of Detroit) where the quite rich once lived before the suburbs. Some of it is pretty ghetto…

I guess I will ask you, since you live there and you have a great screen name.

A well-deserved beatdown. I don't live anywhere near Michigan but follow the NFL a bit and recognized that headline as bullshit. Even forgetting the location mistake, first it uses the word "alarming," a lazy Intertubes writer's favorite term for drama not based in fact, and second because the stadium was only…

I fucking love this post. Consider yourself followed, sir. There are but a few things I love in this world. Righteous bile-filled indignation, accuracy, and shredding a person for being lazy or ignorant or dishonest or all of the above — these are some of those things.

Lol, sounds like the Italian Market on It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. "They have eeeeeverything at the Italian Market."

Yea, Great Lakes straight-up pwned Summit Place.

BUT: Pontiac still has the Dixieland Flea Market, which offers the greatest assortment of randomly awesome shit in the world. Want a fuel pump from a late sixties Impala? Dixieland, 10 bucks. Want a Raggedy Ann doll with a 7/16" crescent wrench for a left arm? Dixieland,…

Same thing happens with Boston and every town within an hour of it. You're not from Boston, you're from fucking Worcester. Taunton is closer to Providence RI than Boston. Why do people want to be from Boston so badly?

You suck.

I wrote the editor John Cook earlier this year about that writer. There is no excuse for the number of errors she makes... every weekend. I never heard back, never saw in any changes, so I just stopped clicking. I had read Gawker for a decade. Now I read my aggregated fluff on the DM. Now those writers have a sense of…

Oh God you just went way up in my book of respect for this article . Basically everything posted to Gawker is clickbait anyways and I'm amazed to see someone on the inside willing to take shots at them. Kudos sir!

Great article, I'm glad there are people out there who still care about this great old city, even when it's really about Pontiac! God forbid anyone fact check, or even worse, come and see for themselves. It's always "blight, crime, chaos!" .... or it just so happens to be another American city that has fallen on…

Met...ro...dome? Oh, you mean the former-giant-inflatable-toilet.

I lived in Pontiac for a few months before I moved downtown (downtownish- Lafayette Park area). Sure, Pontiac has its share of abandoned schools (Pontiac Central High) and shopping malls (Summit Place). But it also has some damned good mexican restaurants. What does that have to do with anything? CHICHARRONES, that's…

That was fucking majestic.
